Notes on Money vine

Do not overwater

The money vine likes moisture but is drought-resistant. When cultivating it, you need to be careful not to over-water it. Many novices are afraid that it will not adapt to the environment, so they fill it with water. However, it should be noted that excessive watering often causes the plant roots to rot due to lack of oxygen or cause the branches to rot, eventually causing the entire plant to become soft and listless or even die.

Keep up with the temperature

The suitable growth temperature of Money vine is 20~30℃. There is no big problem in planting it in spring, summer and autumn, but you must pay attention in winter. When the temperature is below 10℃, you must move it to a warm indoor room to avoid frost damage. It is important to remember that frostbitten tissue is difficult to recover.

Strong light not required

Flower lovers who grow the money vine outdoors should be careful. They need to be very alert in the summer and provide shade for the money vine or move it directly indoors. It is strictly forbidden to place the money vine that has been sprayed with water under strong light, because the water temperature rises quickly and will burn the surface of the leaves, leaving ugly spots.
